MARVEL: GAME MAKER SYSTEMS
70 – Magic

"So you mean you're not a mutant?" Professor Xavier asks Alex in surprise, as he thinks the only explanation for Alex's power is an X gene mutation.

a luminous circle? He just thought it was part of a mutation, like any other way to realize his power.

Alex, who was sitting next to Anna, was still holding her hand, smiling little and answering while trying to ignore Logan who cut off a piece of meat more aggressively than necessary while looking at her with bloodthirsty eyes. "No, I'm not a mutant. Actually, it's magic."

"Magic?" Ororo asked in surprise, as she had already seen the magic ritual when she was in Africa, although the magic she saw was not as strong as Alex's magic.

Nodding, Alex continued. "Yes, it is called Ice Magic, not only is there Ice Magic, there is also Fire Magic, Lightning Magic, among many other types of magic. Even spells that use zodiac keys to summon spirits to aid in battle."

Alex decides to tell them about Fairy Tail's magic, because he knows they can't be sure of it.

Hearing about Lightning Magic, Ororo's eyes sparkled as she asked in an excited voice. "Do you know Lightning Magic ?!"

Seeing Ororo's expectant expression, Alex felt uneasy before replying. "Unfortunately I haven't learned it, because it's too complicated. But I intend to learn it someday."

It wasn't that Alex didn't want to learn it, but the magic he wanted was very expensive.

[Laxus Dreyar Dragon Slayer Lightning Magic: 2,000,000 Game Points.]

Laxus' magic doubled Natsu's magic price, and for Alex who only had 5 million GPs, that price was still too expensive for him to pay casually.

When Ororo heard that Alex did not know Lightning Magic, he was a little disappointed, but when he heard that Alex was interested in learning it, he felt better.

"If you want, I can help you learn something related to lightning, because I can control it." Ororo offered with a beautiful smile.

Alex is grateful for his intentions, though he knows it won't help, but maybe he can help him with training after he learns magic from Laxus.

"Thank you very much, if I need help, I'll tell you." Alex replied with a smile.

Seeing their interaction, the Professor also gave advice. "If you're interested, Alex, you can join us for training sometime. All the boys here are mutants, and we do training with everyone so that his abilities don't get out of control."

Alex just nodded, not saying much.

"How do you know I'm a mutant and you can't touch me?" Anna asked puzzledly while turning her gaze between Alex and their clasped hands.

Alex had already thought of a reason, and responded naturally. "Actually, I've noticed that you avoid physical contact with anyone, so I think you have OCD Hygiene. But when Bobby showed off his mutant powers, I linked them to the way you acted, or how Scott wore his sunglasses. Until night. , and I thought maybe that was your specialty."

Anna heard this and was a little embarrassed because she thought she was OCD with cleanliness. "So you're not afraid of me for being a mutant?"

Alex looked at his worried expression and gave him a reassuring smile as he squeezed his hand. "Are you afraid of me for being a witch?"

Anna quickly shook her head.

Hearing this, Anna's eyes sparkled, before she thought of something that would make her sad again. "But you can control your magic, I can't control my power."

"I can control my magic 'now', but when I learn it, it's also quite difficult to control, and it takes a lot of practice to deal with it. I'm sure your strength is the same." Alex held her hand tighter, wanting to reassure her.

Seeing Anna's expression improving, she understood that it worked.

"I agree with your words, Alex. I'm sure with practice everyone will be able to do unimaginable things." The professor added with a smile, making Anna even more confident.

"I'll let you talk, see you later Alex." Professor said before controlling the chair to get away from Alex and Anna.

Alex waved to the Professor with a hand controlling the Magic Circle and replied. "See you later!"

When Anna saw the Magic Circle in Alex's hand, she realized something and immediately released her hand. "You must be tired, right? Sorry, I miss holding someone's hand so much without having to wear gloves."

Alex had to admit, it was exhausting enough to keep a thin layer of ice in his hand while focusing on rebuilding Occlumency's defenses, but he found that his progress in Ice Magic and Occlumency was extremely fast at that!

With practice Alex felt he could use Ice Magic to cover his hands without any mistakes, or with a little more time he could hold his hands without ice and let Occlumency handle his strength without damage.

Of course, this will take a long time, as he needs to train a lot, but thinking that the training will be done as he holds his hand gives Alex a lot of motivation to train.

"I'm just a little tired. But if it's to hold your hand, it's worth it." Alex smiled as he looked at her.

Anna looked at Alex's smile and looked away, becoming even more embarrassed.

'How can he make me so ashamed ?! I'm not like that!' Anna complains internally, but the feeling of happiness in her chest does not allow her to lie to herself about it.

"Then I let you practice." Anna said in a very low voice.

But since Alex had been training Elven Breath for quite some time, he could hear what he was saying and quickly made a magic circle in his left hand and held his hand again.

"Then I'll train hard." He said in a low voice with his mouth very close to his ears.

Anna felt Alex's warm breath tickle her ears and goosebumps crawl over her body.

Alex looked at the beautiful white legs with those short, disheveled hair and laughed, making Anna beat him up and turn her head in a feigned rage.

But looking at his hand that did not let go, Alex smiled even more, feeling good about teasing this girl.
